# Java Vector Tiles

A java encoder and decoder for vector tiles according to
[Mapbox vector tile spec](https://github.com/mapbox/vector-tile-spec)

## Encode a vector tile

```java
VectorTileEncoder encoder = new VectorTileEncoder();

// Add one or more features with a layer name, a Map with attributes and a JTS Geometry. 
// The Geometry uses (0,0) in upper left and (256,256) in lower right.
encoder.addFeature("road", attributes, geometry);

// Finally, get the byte array
byte[] encoded = encoder.encode();
```

or, specifying the feature id:

```java
VectorTileEncoder encoder = new VectorTileEncoder();
encoder.addFeature("road", attributes, geometry, id);
byte[] encoded = encoder.encode();
```
